The Journey of 26.2 Miles . . .

4 miles with the boys in the stroller.  I threw in fairly regular strides just to get comfortable going a bit faster and to get my legs used to it.  Over the weekend, my hunch that I went too hard on Saturday was confirmed, since I felt like I was recovering from a half-marathon (for which my time would have been right around 1:30, maybe a bit faster).  But I'm feeling better now.  

3 easy with some strides

St. George Marathon.  I was on pace to break 3:00 or be very close to it, until I had a sharp pain in my left knee around mile 17 or 18 (I haven't looked that carefully at my watch yet).  I backed off, but every time I tried to run it would hurt again.  I walked pretty much the rest of the way.  A pretty miserable race (so miserable that I'm not telling my time or logging it as a race).  But I did have a really good 17 miles or so and now just need to do a better job of maintaining an aerobic base so I can be better prepared for races next year.
